How to Increase Coolick Production?
When Wizet was studying the Animagus, Professor Flitwick mentioned an important concept—the siphon phenomenon.
It was this concept that allowed Wizet to take that important step and clarify the principles of Animagus.
There is also a "siphoning effect" in interpersonal relationships. When a group of people spend a lot of time together, they will subtly influence each other.
Neville and Hanna, who are now part of M·S·C, are bolder than they were at the beginning. They are able to proactively raise their questions and seek solutions from those around them.
Wizet also learned a lot from them, whether it was their unique perspectives on things, their careful care of herbs, or their ingenious ideas about Alchemy, all of which greatly inspired him.
Professor Flitwick's gentle nature, Professor Snape's stern attitude, Professor McGonagall's uprightness, Professor Sprout's optimism and affability...
The professors at Hogwarts also subtly influenced Wizet.
Salazar Slytherin told Wizet that "every action of the Guardians has an effect that eventually reaches the magical world"...
The protection of the Previous Guardian, the selfless dedication of Professor Quirrell and Dumbledore, and Luna's unwavering trust and support...
Wizet enjoyed these moments, and he was also prepared to accept any challenges that might arise.
However, before that, the most important thing is to seize the time to continue learning.
According to Wizet, the relationship between learning and challenges should be similar to that between learning and exams, serving as a way to assess learning outcomes.
He has basically completed his paper on Animagus; now all that remains is some finishing touches before he can present it to Professor McGonagall and the others for their review.
The completion of the relevant paper does not mean the end of the research. There are still many aspects of Animagus's work that are worth exploring further, waiting for him to continue to discover.
He also began to organize this part of the content, planning to discuss it with the professors when submitting the paper.
As the snow and ice completely melt away and the cold, damp weather gradually recedes, life is returning to the Scottish Highlands.
The arrival of spring signifies the revival of all things, and Luna and Hanna are busy adding many Magical Plants to the Mystic Corridor.
As for the specific style selection, it was based on the Hufflepuff Common Room, with Hanna describing the layout and Luna drawing the sketches.
The Hufflepuff have different interests and know a lot more about Hogwarts Castle than the students of the other three houses.
Hanna always manages to find some usable furniture in abandoned classrooms, and after Wizet and her team repair it, the furniture can be put back into use.
Thanks to the efforts of all members of M·S·C, the Mystic Corridor has become more comfortable and cozy, making it a great place for both studying and leisure.
It was another weekend, and all the members of M·S·C were in the Mystic Corridor.
Hanna, unusually, took the initiative to speak first, placing a parchment list on the table. "These are things my great-uncle sent me... He wants to order another batch of Coolick."
"Order! Let me see!" Fred's eyes lit up immediately, and he quickly grabbed the parchment list to look at it.
Not to be outdone, George scanned the list alongside Fred, "I really didn't expect it! The Leaky Cauldron wants quite a lot!"
Neville walked behind Fred and George, craned his neck to peek at the list, and said, "Are we going to be able to handle this? Exams are coming up soon..."
"That sounds so familiar!" George's eyes widened. "Who told you that?"
"Let me think..." Fred murmured, "Could it be that Hermione told you?"
Neville replied, "Well... I heard her talking about it with Harry and Ron when I came out of the library this morning."
"Hermione ..." George nodded seriously, "Then it's not surprising, what did Ron answer?"
"Uh..." Neville scratched his head, "It means the exam won't be until hundreds of years later..."
"Hehe!" Fred chuckled mischievously, counting on his fingers. "I'm guessing what Hermione will say... The exam is in a little over ten weeks! It'll be over in the blink of an eye."
"Yes...that's what they said." Neville nodded honestly.
"And what about this order? My great-uncle said..." Hanna tried to steer the conversation back on track, "If it sells well enough, he'll order a whole new batch during the summer vacation!"
Fred's beaming face vanished. "That's a problem!"
George said with a bitter face, "Based on the quantity on the order... it seems like it's going to be very difficult for just the few of us!"
Luna asked, "How about we try to manufacture it using machines?"
"Use machines to manufacture it?" Fred and George said in unison, both looking at Luna.
"Like this..." Luna took out the sketchbook given to her by Wizet, picked up the crystal pen and sketched on the sketchbook, and a shape resembling a spinning machine emerged.
Fred looked at the picture book curiously. "Luna, this picture book you're using... doesn't seem like an ordinary magical item, does it?"
Luna smiled and nodded. "This was a gift from Wizet..."
"Ouch..." Fred drawled out, giving a mischievous smile.
George was more interested in the emerging images. "Magic Printing Press! But we lack the magical power to keep it running for long..."
"This is controlled by other Pure-blood Family, so buying a magic printer directly... seems a bit inappropriate..."
"We actually have magical power," Wizet said, looking up and putting down her hands that were taking notes. "Do you remember the magic symbol of that Pixies?"
Wizet pointed to Luna's sketchbook and said, "Back then, you handed over your research results to me, and I also tried to make a magical item, which was very successful!"
"Yes, yes, yes! That pattern can definitely be used!" Fred and George's eyes lit up, but then immediately dimmed. "But we need crystal... pure crystal isn't cheap!"
In Alchemy and the creation of magical items, if cost is not a concern, crystal with sufficient purity is often a good all-purpose material.
It is precisely for this reason that the price of crystal is relatively high, which is why it was not within the scope of their consideration.
George added, "There should be other alternative materials... but it will require constant experimentation and will definitely cost a lot of Galleon..."
Fred's tone was somewhat helpless, "And our savings... have all been invested in researching Prank Item..."
Wizet replied readily, "I can find some more."
"Oh right! The Parseltongue Whistle from before!" Fred realized. "You actually have high-purity crystal?"
"We can write you an IOU!" George jumped up excitedly. "But paying it back probably won't be that quick!"
The two had a clear understanding: the profit margin on Coolick was good, and as long as they could maintain sales for a long time, paying back the money wouldn't be difficult...
